The centre part is an entrance hall with an office behind and straight flight stair. Kitchen block projects at right angles to rear of the right (east) end . The first room is the kitchen, a large room with outer lateral stack and there is a dairy behind. The fireplace exposed in the dining room looks like it is a late C17 - early C18 kitchen fireplace. It might be that the front block is a late C17 - early C18 central service room farmhouse which was refurbished and enlarged with a new kitchen wing in the C19. House is 2 storeys with attics in the main block roofspace. Exterior: symmetrical 3-window front of C19 and C20 casements with glazing bars. Central doorway contains a part-glazed 4-panel door behind a contemporary flat roofed porch on plain timber posts. The rear wall of the main block contains an oak-framed window containing rectangular panes of leaded glass, many of them very old and tinged green. This could be late C17 - early C18. Tall main block roof is hipped both ends and contains a rear dormer window with shutters. Interior: shows mostly the result of the mid - late C19 modernisation and much of the joinery detail dates from then. The only feature older is the dining room fireplace; it is large, built of stone rubble and has a plain oak lintel. Roof not inspected.
